It can be compared with other statements which the reader will probably find in this same paper, and then he can draw his own conclusions. Gen. Evans fell back to Goose Creek on Saturday, and on Monday morning the Federals commenced crossing in boats, and at once advanced towards, the town. The distance from Leesburg to the river, I am told, is about three miles, and before the enemy had re was opened upon every boat. None of the prisoners seem to know the object of the expedition.

General Beauregard highly compliments General — then Colonel — Evans, (commanding a brigade)--and now the hero of Leesburg — for the extraordinary military aptitude and great gallantry he displayed in his movement from Stone Bridge, to Sudley's Ford after receiving the enemy's first onset at Stone Bridge.
